Valve replacement is done in patients with severe valvular heart disease. As blood flows around these valves it causes high stress, thereby, activating platelets and coagulation. TRiCares’s Topaz system is designed as a treatment for patients who require tricuspid valve repair but are not able to withstand open heart surgery or for whom the open surgery may be too risky.

GlobalData expects the transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement market to grow from being worth $10m last year to more than $2bn in 2033. The growth will be driven by the increased adoption of these devices and surgeons becoming more familiar with these procedures.

Multiple companies are developing tricuspid valves. In April, Abbott’s TriClip transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) system was cleared by the FDA to treat tricuspid regurgitation.
